FUMS Flip Flops for Men and Women to Help Children

FUMS, a faith-based shoe company that provides free shoes for American children in need, is introducing a line of women's and men's leather flip flops. For every pair of flip flops purchased through their website, FUMS gives a pair of shoes to a child in need somewhere in the United States, PAIR for PAIR. 

The flip flops are the first FUMS sandals offered for men and women. FUMS flip flops feature genuine leather uppers, comfort cushioning midsoles and durable rubber outsoles for the ultimate in style, comfort and durability. FUMS also offers interchangeable shoes (zipper shoes) for women and toddlers. Each shoe line is part of the PAIR for PAIR program that serves American children. 

To date in 2013, FUMS has distributed new shoes to 150 children in New Orleans and 160 children in West Tennessee, working with their two partners - The Greer Campaign and Samaritan's Feet. At the most recent shoe drop in Jackson, Tenn., 95 volunteers served. They shared encouragement and Christ's love, as they washed the children's feet and presented each child with a pair of shoes. The event was also held in conjunction with the City of Jackson's Month of Miracles. Anyone interested in hosting a shoe drop can learn more by emailing shoedrops@dhwf.org. 

Mitch and Lisa Miller founded FUMS in 2010 as a division of Doing His Work First. Their mission is to spread Christ's love and be an impetus for inspiring positive change in the lives of others. In addition to their website , the Millers discuss FUMS on Facebook.

Stokke Tripp Trapp Newborn Set is the perfect chair for newborns

Tripp Trapp Newborn Set is an ergonomically designed, baby seat that fits simply onto the top of the Tripp Trapp chair, creating the perfect vantage point for your newborn to experience the rich tapestry of family life. We believe that interaction and being close, is essential for babies development. That's why all Stokke products, including the Tripp Trapp Newborn Set, are designed to bring your baby close to you.

Children grow and learn through connections and communication with those close to them and Tripp Trapp Newborn Set lets your baby experience family life around the table right from birth. It also makes feeding time easier! For you - Having baby at table height means you can enjoy your meal times whilst maintaining that ever-comforting contact. For baby - Well they just want to see and be connected to you! Tripp Trapp Newborn Set fits securely onto the top of your Tripp Trapp chair without the need for fiddly fixings. The seat simply detaches and when your child is ready to start sitting independently, you exchange it with the Baby Set.
